Not unless flechette guns have already been cleared for use at Hobby. :-)
that was a hypothetical example, I just chose a city with two airports that

A flechette gun (not sure if one exists in real life or not but it's a
standard SF gun) fires a number of small sharp particles (flechettes) which
are sharp enough to penetrate skin but not big enough to puncture aluminum
fuselages.
A tranq is just short for tranquilizer.
